Hit It And Quit It

I had about 30 minutes to fly Bluff Park in Long Beach with Justin "JGAF" Gafford before I had to head back up to Santa Barbara... We made the most of it!

Conditions were off-center from the right and about 14-16mph. Plenty of fun for our Ultrabatic gliders :)

Justin was flying his all-white 50" (1270mm) 12oz (340g) scratchbuilt Swiss Fish, and I was flying my white-and-black 60" (1500mm) 17oz (480g) Le Fish built in the ultralight fashion pioneered and perfected by our mutual friend, Peter Richner.
